Stress testing is the process of determining the ability of
a computer, network, program or device to maintain a certain
level of effectiveness under unfavorable conditions. The
process can involve quantitative tests done in a lab, such
as measuring the frequency of errors or system crashes. The
term also refers to qualitative evaluation of factors such
as availability

Answer / naveen kumar k.l
Assume that we have to develop an application for 100 users
of load.
Load Testing:Testing the behavior of an application by
applying a load which is less than or equal to designed load
( 100 users),under proper environment conditions.
Stress:Testing the behavior of an application by applying a
load which is greater than designed load( 100 users),under
proper environment conditions.
This means we are testing the application by applying a
load which is greater than designed load.
